Marie Louise Bank
Why dive here
Marie Louise Bank is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Marie Louise Bank sits off Palawan, a solid choice if you're looking for bigger pelagics in the Philippines. We often encounter schools of barracuda here, sometimes a grey reef shark cruising by. It’s an open water site, so conditions can vary, but for experienced divers keen on current dives and larger fish, it’s a good option. Not one for macro enthusiasts, but great for those wide-angle shots.
